Tree,
This is wonderful.I would like to add just one more thing;
i think there is some kind of meaning in our current way of living,
so maybe if we can change the way we look at life, we don't need to strive
towards a meaning, we all need to discover the meaning that already exists
and live with that.

Thanks to Alison for bringing up POP. I had heard about it many times
but since she raised it on this list, I've been reading about it. I
am grateful. I have also been aware of Arnold Mindell's work but
never really studied it, which I am doing now.
There's always so much to learn and know.
Here's a new word (that I picked up reading Metaskills by Amy Mindell)
that was used by C. G. Jung: teleology.
Teleology, as used by Jung, means that 'events are striving towards a
meaningful purpose or goal." Here's the citation for the quote: C.
G. Jung, "The Soul and Death", Structures and Dynamics of the Psyche,
Vol. 8, Princeton: Bollingen Series, 1969, p. 406
I do believe the course of humanity is striving towards a meaningful,
purposeful goal and that living in OS is a collective striving towards
such a goal. The only goal.
